"Mhm, when you go back, secretly observe these two more, but be careful not to be discovered by them.”You Zhi reminded.
Meng Fan cupped his hands." I got it. Thanks for the reminder."”
After some deliberation, the old man spoke again,""Why don't we give the children a lesson at my house instead of your house tomorrow?”
As a transmigrator, Meng Fan knew the importance of education.
Great Qin's residents did not have a high literacy rate, and it was even more so for the children in the villages. There were very few who could read.
In order to enter the imperial court in the future and have his own network, Meng Fan had planned ahead.
He had set up a school in the Meng Village to teach the children how to read and write for free.
These days, older children were part of the family's labor force, so to cover a wider range, Meng Fan would teach once a week.
This way, the children would have enough time to study.
Don't underestimate the education concept of the common people these days.
Many people knew the benefits of being literate. For example, if they could read, they could become an accountant in the city or even a minor official in the county.
These jobs were much more promising than farming at home.
Moreover, Meng Fan would teach once a week during the farming season, so the children's parents were happy to send their children to Meng Fan's place to learn to read.
If someone said that they only taught one lesson a week, how much could these children learn?
In fact, Meng Fan's idea was simple.
It was similar to the way a scumbag flirted with girls. First, he would cast a wide net. Then, if he encountered someone with extraordinary talent and potential, he would train them at a fixed point and teach them according to their aptitude!
Meng Fan wasn't sure if he could nurture the entire Meng family's next generation into pillars of the country, but he was confident in picking one or two from a basket.
No matter what, he was a high-end talent who had transmigrated from the modern world and had gone through nine years of compulsory education!
No matter what, she could nurture a few people worthy of Brother Zheng's admiration, right?
At least that was what Meng Fan thought.
If it really didn't work, he could just take out some advanced technology and let him enter the Shao Fu as a Shao Fu order.
"It's okay. Don't worry. I guarantee that the children will be fine!”Meng Fan patted his chest and promised the old man.
His divine power was not for show. If Old Wang and Old Zhao were really evil people, he was confident that he could defeat them both.
Needless to say, Old Zhao's fat belly didn't have much combat power.
Old Wang was still a bit weak, but he was already very old. He did not need to think to know that he was not his match.
Seeing Meng Fan so sure, the old man nodded.""Alright then, tomorrow's lecture will still be held at your house. However, to be conservative, I'll bring a few people over to keep an eye on it.”
Meng Fan nodded. The old man was doing this to be on the safe side, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Then I'll go back first." Meng Fan stood up and bid farewell to the old man.
The old man stood up to send him off and did not forget to remind him,"You must be careful.”
"I know!"
Back at home, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were sitting in the courtyard, chatting about something in boredom.
Seeing Meng Fan enter, Wang Jian couldn't help but ask,""Kid, why did you take so long? Isn't it just a farming tool?"
"Can't I chat with Youzhi?”Meng Fan rolled his eyes.
After being reminded by You Zhi, Old Wang and Old Zhao were starting to look suspicious.
He had to ask about it when he went to Arisu's house to talk. Was he afraid that I would go out and inform him?
Could it be that these two really had some shady business?
Thinking of this, Meng Fan began to plan how to trick the two.
Soon, Meng Fan's meal was ready.
They brought the dishes to the courtyard and took out a jar of wine from the inner room. The three of them began to eat.
"Come, Old Zhao, Old Wang, drink more.”Meng Fan took the initiative to pour wine for the two.
Wang Jian glanced at him in slight puzzlement, secretly thinking that something was amiss in his heart.
Yesterday, this kid complained that I drank too much of his wine and asked me to be more careful in the future. Why does it seem like he has changed into a different person today?
Something was wrong!
There must be a problem!
Thinking up to here, Wang Jian could not help but open his mouth and say,""Kid, are you hiding something from us?”
Meng Fan was stunned." No, I'm not. What could happen to me?"”
At the same time as he looked at Wang Jian, he thought to himself that this Old Wang's vigilance was quite strong!
As he thought about this, Meng Fan felt that there was something fishy about these two.
Forget it, as the saying goes, a drunk man speaks the truth. Let's get them drunk first!
"Drink, what are you waiting for?" Meng Fan said to the two," Do you think my wine isn't tasty enough?"”
Wang Jian sized him up suspiciously. He did not see anything, but he still could not resist the temptation of the fine wine. He picked up the bowl and drank.
After three rounds of wine, Wang Jian and Ying Zheng were both intoxicated by Meng Fan's repeated toasts.
Meng Fan took the opportunity to ask." Oh right, Old Zhao, I haven't asked you what business you're in."”
"Business? I..." Almost exposing his identity, Ying Zheng hurriedly changed his words." I do all kinds of business in Xianyang City.”
"Oh? Do all kinds of business?" Meng Fan, who didn't hear anything wrong, frowned. Something wasn't right.
